Archaeology is built heritage. I keep seeing the term being applied to refer only to historic buildings, as if archaeological heritage were a separate thing. It isn't. It constitutes the material remains of human cultures and agency, distinct for example from natural heritage.

This Year of the Normans stuff is providing tremendous entertainment. Quick primer 1. No, the ones who arrived here in 12thC werenโ€™t โ€œthe Englishโ€ 2. Their arrival was part of a long European wave of movement and conquest 3. They rapidly intermarried (politically savvy) >

Visited Dunluce Castle, a place filled with romance and history. Its appearance perched on the cliff was magnificent and I could feel its former glory. Also enjoyed the refreshing breeze and beautiful scenery walking along the Portrush coastline.

Letโ€™s go inside Bryn Celli Ddu Neolithic passage tomb! Built c. 5,000 years ago to align with the rising sun on the Summer Solstice! Look for the stone pillar inside the burial chamber, like a tomb guardian keeping watch from the shadows! Anglesey, Wales ๐ŸŽฅ by me #Archaeology

Dunmull Hillfort near Coleraine is a protected historic monument. Last year, a farmer was fined after serious damage was caused to the land. The Department for Communities says it was caused by trenches being dug through the fort.

I visited this site shortly after the damage was reported. Shocking indeed. Good to see this outcome, but unfortunately the damage cannot be undone. BBC News - Damage to historic site 'a significant loss to society' bbc.com/news/articles/โ€ฆ

Equinox illumination of Cairn T, Loughcrew, County Meath, Ireland. Taken twenty years ago, September 2005. Today, the interior of the cairn is closed to visitors due to safety concerns with the 5,000 year old structure. #equinox #megalithicart #irelandsancienteast #prehistoricart
